By Popular Demand!

We've had a few requests to dish the dirt on who has already purchased tickets to the reunion so without further adieu, here are the Lions you can look forward to seeing on June 27th -- BUT ONLY IF YOU BUY YOUR TICKETS BY JUNE 18th.

We're yellers, we know, but it's important.

Anyway, here you go:
(Updated June 14th!)

Jessica T.
Joanne E.
Phillip B.
Stephanie D.
Chris L.
Amy F.
Alison K.
Gemma B.
Kelley J.
Ryan W.
Najah F.
Jessica P.
Mirsada K.
Lindsay M.
Robin D.
Amy S.
Tracie M.
Sarah H.
Raylene G.
Christopher R.
Cristal T.
Dayna L.
Andrea D.
Elizabeth H.
Cassie S.
Sarah W.
Cheryl B.
Kate H.

Plus an assortment of husbands/wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/partners/hot dates/etc. But don't worry -- plenty of us are flying solo so you won't be the only one without a dance partner when Careless Whisper comes on.

Except that A) there won't be dancing and B) Careless Whisper is a bit before our time anyway so don't worry about it.

A few important notes:

1. We used maiden names for the ladies so if, say, Andrea were to be all "WHO THE HECK IS ANDREA D??"" I'd be all "THE CHICK WITH THE WHITE SATIN A'S JACKET, THAT'S WHO!"

More with the yelling.

2. We've personally heard from other people who say that they're gonna buy tickets but just haven't made the magic happen yet. Jeremy M., Nicole F., Ben H., WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU.

3. We discovered that for some reason Reunion Central's mailman was lacking school spirit and wasn't delivering mail addressed to LHS Reunion so, psst, if you got your check returned you might want to just send it to Andrea Bartlinski (aka The Artist Formerly Known as Andrea DeYoung) at the same address just for good measure. A whole gang of checks made their way to Reunion Central without a problem so we dunno what the problem was there.

3a. Hey Andrea, I just said your married and maiden names on the WWW! I'll let you know how many Stalky McStalkersons search for you and find this site!

4. Attn Sheila D.: "I can't go because I'm pregnant" is not an acceptable excuse! At least THREE of the ladies on the RSVP list also have buns in the oven so you'll be in good company!

5. If your BFF 4 --> isn't on the list then please twist some arms for us!

6. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE PICNIC ON JUNE 28TH!

Bueller?

Hellllloooooooooo Lions!

Maaaaan, we're slackery updaters lately, aren't we? But seriously, we're busy accepting PayPal payments from you guys all day long and it takes away from our blogging time.

Or maybe we're just slackers.

But hey! How about a list of people we're still trying to find?! We KNOW FOR A FACT that some of you are still in contact with some of these people so if you're not going to tell us how to contact them, we hope that you're at least keeping them updated. Or at least just telling them that the reunion exists.

We'll try very hard not to be butthurt that they don't want anything to do with us.

Back to the list:

Angelina Ignacio

George Kleidon

Colin Leeland

Norma Macias

Ramona Martin

Lourdes Rivera

Erin Sisti

Colin Yocum

If you know these people, we'd LOVE for you to tell them about the reunion. Double points for getting them to send us money.

Please find these people for us!

We've been slaaaaaackers lately, we know, but here are your WHERE THE HECK ARE THESE PEOPLE people for today:

Arleen Martinez

Cesar Rosales

Christina James

Dan Fink (We know Dan is on MySpace but we're having MySpace issues so if anyone is MySpace friends with him, will you send him a note about the reunion?)

Gabriel Lozano

Gordon Smith (We found him on MySpace too but MySpace thinks we're all spammers or something so if you're his friend, please point him in our direction!!!)

Martha Diaz

Michael Stotts

The trickle of new names is slowing down.

We're busy bees over here, what with all the reunion planning (and real life work) we're doing, so we'll get straight to the point. No more dilly-dally'ing. Today, anyway. We can't promise we'll ever actually be concise.

VERY IMPORTANT:

If you haven't sent us your contact info or you're not in the Facebook group then you are not completely in the loop!! We're not withholding any big, exciting secrets or anything, but if we come up with anything good you might miss it!

PUHHHHLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE send us your e-mail address! Our e-mail address is lincolnlions1994@gmail.com. We'll respond by thinking good thoughts about what a team player you are AND we'll send you the most updated information.

Isn't that exciting?

And if the thought of e-mailing us takes you right back to 1994 and you're feeling angsty about that one time we spilled Sprite on your Esprit sweatshirt or that other time we messed up your bangs, we're really sorry.

Honest to goodness, each time we get a new e-mail from you guys we get SO EXCITED!

And you know what REALLY floats our boats?

Getting e-mails from people we didn't know that well in high school.

So even if you're like "Sarah Woodside, Cassie Seacrist, Andrea DeYoung and Elizabeth Holt? Who the heck are these chicks????" I can assure you that seeing your name in our in-box will make us stop what we're doing and IM each other to go OMG WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!

Gold stars for you all!

And okay, I should tell you that earning a GOLD STAR from us doesn't have a cash value, but if I told you it did, would more people send us more e-mail addresses??

You could put it on your resume or something: Gold Star Award Winner, 2009.

And then when prospective employers ask you what the heck it is you can tell them that it's prestigious honor awarded to 30-somethings for record keeping and cooperation. Which is totally true, btw.

Calling in the FBI and CIA!

Five days into the arm-twisting and our list has grown by leaps and bounds! We're still missing MOST of our classmates though so DON'T THINK WE'LL GO AWAY AND SHUT UP or anything, because we won't.

This is the weekend our Head E-mail Address Wrangler (titles are big around here) (not really) is digging her yearbook out of her parents' basement so she can divvy up the 175+ names we're missing and hand them over to the FBI. And by "FBI" I mean "FaceBook Investigators." And I totally just pulled that out of my ear so I know it sounds lame, OKAY? Seriously though, we're gonna call in the CIA: Computer Information ASSAULTERS.

Gawd. I should learn when to just zip it and get to the point. Especially since I'm not even sure "assaulters" is even a word.

But anyway, we're gonna start hitting the pavement (of the information super highway) shortly. The reunion is in 147 days and we're gonna spend some time continuing to squeeeeeeze information out of you before we start the daunting process of getting people to send us money.

So here's an updated list of the people we have contact info for. It looks super awesome and long because I included the people in the Facebook group even if they didn't send us their e-mail addresses and a couple who are e-mail-free but who have had friends volunteer to pass the info along.

WHO WE HAVE:

Maria A.
Gemma B.
Philip B.
Tamara B.
Cheryl B.
Erica C.
Chris C.
Megan C.

PEOPLE WE NEED:

Everyone else. Please help!

E-mail us!

lincolnlions1994@gmail.com

Send us e-mail addresses, questions, suggestions, notes to pass during gym class: Your call.

It's better than being on the FBI's MOST WANTED list, that's for sure.

I was feeling pretty badass with my list of e-mail addresses that I'd collected for old classmates but then I did the math and figured out that my list of 28 names is just barely 10% of our graduating class and that earns us a big, fat F on our report cards.

Here's who we have:

Gemma B.
Tamara B.
Cheryl B.
Erica C.
Megan C.
Stephanie D.
Robin D.
Andrea D.
Joanne E.
Amy F.
Mark F.
Raylene G.
Elizabeth H.
Paul H.
Mirsada K.
Evan L.
Isela M.
Daniel P.
Jessica P.
Christopher R.
Cassie S.
Adam S.
Cristal T.
Jessica T.
Suzanne V.
Sarah W.
Tammy W.

Here's who we're looking for:

EVERYONE ELSE.
